Sleeper Prospects

Idk how likely he is to declare this year but Moussa Diabate is an intriguing prospect. I think he can develop into an ideal modern 5. Most mocks I’ve seen has him at the end of the 1st round or in the 2nd round

Kessler isnt a sleeper. He should go late lotto IMO. Some of the best block timing and hand eye coordination on blocks that I have seen. I think he is a bouncier Poeltl with range potential.

diabate might be the type of guy whose game is better suited for the league than cbb. still, he just hasn't shown enough to go higher than the 2nd round or very late first.

Something about Ron Harper JR makes me think he goes in the 50's and somehow carves out a role.

It seems like a lot of juniors do well. Gary Payton Jr, Gary Trent Jr, and Tim Hardaway Jr. were all picked late.

Speaking of Jrs. I like Pippen as a sleeper to carve out some sort of role on a team. Alondes Williams is what I had in mind with guys that could make the jump into the top 20 outta nowhere like Primo, Thybulle, Duarte, etc. Looks like a Ricky Davis clone with actual playmaking ability.

I think he goes late first round this year, but would be smart to wait until next year. If he can become a bit more consistent he could go lottery.

I agree. I think he could benefit a lot by staying for his sophomore year

i agree about pippen. his production suggests nba player.

honestly, he's not a bad comp for bronny james - similar size, athleticism, shooting - IF bronny pans out he will look like pippen jr, imo. however, my gut says bronny never becomes that good.

One of my bigger ones is Dereon Seabron. He's elite around the rim and is scoring at will rn. Just needs to develop a jumper but hes been consistent on FT's and that gives me hope he can get that jumper going sometime later in his career

Yeah, hes been really impressive this year, even has 17 at the half tonight

Dereon Seabron has the point production, size on the wing, and passing ability.

But he offers nothing by way of spacing and doesn't make many plays defensively.

I think his teammate Terquavion Smith is a stud, though.

Harrison Ingram 6-8 230. Looking like a ball handling, facilitating version of Miles Bridges w/o the transparent athleticism. Would be smart to scoop him up with a late 1st/early 2nd.

Johnni Broome 6-8 210 2020 247 three star. Now is 6-10 240, unbelievable shot blocker avg 17, 10.5, 4 blocks. Great sign NBA future with rebounding and relatively low foul rate with high block rate.

I like McGowens in a few years, would love to grab him in the 2nd round.

It seems that way, but the results don't lie. He blocks wind back dunks, bigmen shooting 3s, floaters, hook shots, etc. He must have a high standing reach. I'm itching to see him go against NBA caliber prospects.

Just watching him for a few minutes, he looked like a 5 who won't be quite big enough to do it in the NBA. Didn't look 6'10 honestly, is that a real measurement?
